A traffic stop on the Cumberland Parkway on Tuesday night lead to a drug trafficking arrest. On August 30, 2022, at approximately 11:27pmCT, a Kentucky State Police Trooper conducted a traffic stop on a 2011 Chevrolet Impala passenger car on the Cumberland Parkway.

Independents are fastest-growing political affiliation in KY

From Michon Lindstrom

Frankfort, KY - Secretary of State Michael Adams announced Kentucky voter registration as Independent or under other political affiliations is outpacing registration in the two major parties. In July, "Other" registration grew at more than double the rate of Republican or Democrat registration.

"Political allegiances are in flux," said Adams. "Republicans recently took the lead in voter registration from Democrats, but there's more to the story, as many voters now do not affiliate with either party. Any candidate for statewide office needs to not just hold the base, but also reach out to others."

From Anna Grace Peterson

When driving through the Square in Columbia, KY, a brightly colored signpost can be seen, sporting the names of various countries along with distances in miles and kilometers from Columbia to the location.

This project was generously created and organized by an ISP Host Parent and long-time supporter Mary Ann Loy in the fall of 2017.

Carol Perkins: Memories of Recess

Previous Column: Owning Your Own Truth

By Carol Perkins

If you ask a child what his favorite part of school is, he will likely say, "RECESS!"

Trying to be quiet, sitting still, and listening is challenging for a rambunctious child. We had morning recess and afternoon recess. Even in cooler weather, we bundled in our coats and nearly knocked each other down, getting to the playground.

Someone might yell, "London Bridge," and two girls would form the bridge. We'd sing the song and lower the "bridge" until there was a winner. Drop the Handkerchief was fun, but I seldom caught the person because I couldn't run fast. I dropped it behind someone I could outrun!

The boys joined us for Red Rover.

Soccer: LWC Women end with draw with Georgia Gwinnett

The Lindsey Wilson women's soccer team led 2-1 late in the action in their home opener on Tuesday evening, but a final-minute goal by Georgia Gwinnett forced the 2-2 draw after 90 minutes. Alicia Thoresen provided both Blue Raider goals, but her effort was not enough to propel LWC to their first win.

Lindsey Wilson overcame a sluggish opening half to outshoot the Grizzlies 15-8 including 8-6 in shots on goal. The Grizzlies peppered the Blue Raiders with shots over the opening 20 minutes as three found their way on target. Maya Caon finished the night with four saves.
